Hi Dan,

Thanks for the second look.

Okay, to allow for me to make forward progress here I've decided to follow the "principle of least brokenness" ;-)

Recap: Because of JVMTI event callbacks it is possible for a thread to set its current pending monitor as a JvmtiRawMonitor when it was already set for an ObjectMonitor. This is broken in at least two ways: - when the raw monitor use completes the pending monitor is set to NULL, not restored to the ObjectMonitor - whilst the raw monitor is seen as the pending monitor the ObjectMonitor is not considered by the deadlock detection logic

Ignoring what I'm currently doing with jvmtiRawMonitor, I do not know how to fix the above brokenness and it is out of scope for what I am trying to do.

So what I propose is to make things no more broken than they are now, and actually improve things a little: - the pending JvmtiRawMonitor is given preference over the ObjectMonitor in the deadlock detection code (this emulates current situation of the raw monitor overwriting the pending ObjectMonitor)
- we no longer lose the fact we were also pending on an ObjectMonitor
- the stack printing code in the deadlock detector prints information about both the raw monitor and the ObjectMonitor

Updated webrev:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dholmes/8231289/webrev.v2/

src/hotspot/share/services/threadService.cpp
    L399:     // waiting on both a raw monitor and ObjectMonitor at the same time. It
         s/waiting on/waiting to lock/

Fixed.

     L981:      const char* owner_desc = ",\n  which is held by";
     L994:            st->print_cr(",\n  which has now been released");
     L1008:         owner_desc = "\n  in JNI, which is held by";
        Not your bug for L981 or L1008, but those '\n' aren't portable right?
         I think a 'st->cr()' is needed instead.

\n within a string literal should be perfectly portable. It's a symbolic representation of a "newline". If it eventually get written to somewhere that cares (like a file) it will be converted into appropriate CR or CRLF characters for the platform.

         Of course, I don't understand why the newline is there anyway,
         but without seeing an example output its hard to say.

Yes I assume it looks pretty if you see it written out.

Thumbs up. Don't need to see another webrev...

Thanks,
David
